Zhao Jie set his eyes on Yuan Xuezheng, Yuan Xuezheng laughed, looked at his works, and then looked at Xin Zhicai and said: "The official has won the award, the award." It is an honor for the lower officials to be favored by the county. Xia Guan just had this intention. ”

Xin Zhicai bowed, smiled slightly and said, "This county is disrespectful." ”

Xin Zhicai carefully looked at the content of the words at this time, and couldn't help but applaud, pointing to the words on it and looking at Yuan Xuezheng and couldn't help but sigh: "The words are good, the content is also good, and it shows the yearning and pursuit of my generation." These couplets and statements have not yet been heard of in the county. Could this be the realization of the vastness? ”

Yuan Xuezheng bowed his hand and said, "No, no." It's ashamed, ashamed, these are some immature thoughts of Zhao Ping, a disciple of the lower officials, which makes people laugh and be generous. ”

Hearing the word "Zhao Ping", Xin Zhicai couldn't help but be taken aback.

He looked carefully again, pondered for a while as if remembering something, and suddenly asked, "Could it be that the one who wrote "Wanghai Tide. Changyuan" and "Changyuan Fu" boy Zhao Ping? ”

Hearing that the dignified county officials knew the name and article of their master Zhao Ping, Zhao Jie turned around and secretly wiped away the tears he shed due to excitement, and then nodded in the direction of Zhaojiazhuang, really full of confidence that he would come to the county seat this time to fight for the security corps place.

And Yuan Xuezheng, who showed a hint of a smile on his face, nodded and said: "It is the disciple of Xia Guan Bucai, and I hope that the county will not give the axe to the right." ”

Hearing that Zhao Ping was Yuan Tao's disciple, Xin Zhicai dressed up, and then solemnly made a big salute to Yuan Tao.

Yuan Tao hurriedly flashed, and then hurriedly returned the salute to the county honorable Xie Zhicai.

Xin Zhicai continued to look at the contents of the scroll, and pointed to the scroll and sighed: "Although this son is young, his talent has appeared, and his ambitions are even greater." is so talented, it's really enviable! Yuan Xuezheng teaches well, and famous teachers make high apprentices! The county admires! Admire! ”

After speaking, Xin Zhicai saluted his hand.

Yuan Tao hurriedly returned the salute and said: "The county officials have won awards, awards, how dare you!" How dare you! ”

tacitly reached a tacit understanding of the alliance.

Yuan Tao asked Zhao Jie to submit the application documents for Zhaojiazhuang's application for the security group, and then said to Xin Zhicai: "Zhaojiazhuang was attacked by bandits last time, including the mother of Zhao Ping, a disciple of Xiaguan, who was also seriously injured, and still needs someone to support him to act, so Zhao Ping, a disciple of Xiaguan, had to take a leave of absence for three months to take care of his mother. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Tao paused to explain his intentions.

"Since the disciple went home to honor his mother, he could not come to ask the county for advice in person. I had to come from the lower officials on behalf of the disciples. The lower officials believe that Zhaojiazhuang pays taxes in accordance with the law, has never been in arrears, and urgently needs the security team to protect it, and now asks the county officials to decide. ”

Xin Zhicai nodded, opened the paperwork and looked at it, when he saw Zhaojiazhuang applying for a place of two thousand security regiments, his face couldn't help but change, and he frowned and asked: "The security regiment of a village actually needs two thousand, and the number is too much." In this way, since Changyuan County is not far from Jiading and Tongchuan Prefecture, the county believes that one thousand is sufficient. What does Hiroyuki think? ”

Yuan Tao was overjoyed in his heart, he hoped that there would only be five hundred at most, but Xie Zhicai took the initiative to set the number at one thousand, and hurriedly bowed to Xin Zhicai, saying: "Zhao Ping, a disciple of the lower official generation, thanks the county for his love. ”

Xin Zhicai nodded and said to his staff member Xin Dong: "Please Liu Xiancheng come over to discuss." ”

After a long time, Liu Ang Shi Ran came over, and then saluted Xin Zhicai and said, "Xia Guan was on the matter just now, and he came to confess." ”

looked at Yuan Tao, and also bowed and said, "Yuan Xuezheng is also here." ”

Yuan Tao hurriedly returned the salute and said lightly: "I've seen Liu Xiancheng." ”

Xin Zhicai frowned, waved his hand lightly in his heart, and asked softly: "Zhaojiazhuang was attacked by bandits, and ten days have passed, what progress has Liu County made?" ”

Liu Ang smiled coldly in his heart, and replied lightly with both hands: "Back to the county, the bandits are very cunning, they come and go without a trace, and they are only a few quick catches, how can they capture these powerful bandits." ”

Liu Ang hereby said the word strong very seriously.

Xin Zhicai nodded, pointed in the direction of Zhaojiazhuang and said: "It seems that Liu Xiancheng also knows that the bandits are indeed powerful, and Zhaojiazhuang's taxes account for more than 20% or even about 30% of the county. ”

Liu Ang's face suddenly felt cold air, it seems that today is not an auspicious day of the zodiac, looking at it left and right, he said: "You can strengthen defense, such as the security regiment and the like." ”

Xin Zhicai picked up the tea bowl on the desk, took a sip, looked at Liu Ang, and then said: "It seems that Liu County Cheng also agreed to set up a security regiment, which is in line with the meaning of this county, and this county proposes that Zhaojiazhuang set up a security regiment, the number of which is temporarily set at 1,000 people, and then it will be established, and the cost, weapons and training will be borne by Zhaojiazhuang." ”

Liu Ang suddenly became anxious, arched his hands, pointed in the direction of Lin'an and said, "There are too many people, and two hundred people are more than enough." The county honorable please consider the considerations and standards of the imperial court. ”

Xin Zhicai also pointed to the west and southwest direction and said: "The officers and soldiers of Tongchuan Mansion and Jiading are fighting fiercely with the Hu people, if the Hu people bypass Tongchuan Mansion and Jiading, with the fast horses of the Hu people, they can reach Changyuan County within one day." Eggs under the nest? ”

Liu Ang was furious, pointed to the heavens and said: "The lower officials want to play the imperial court, and the county is shocked to lose confidence in the imperial court, and the measures are alarmist. ”

Xin Zhicai smiled faintly, and said after tasting tea: "It happens that we are going to book together, and this county will also impeach Liu County for harming the local economy and ignoring the great cause of imperial court taxes." ”

Liu Ang squinted his eyes and glanced at Yuan Tao hatefully a few times, and then bowed to Xin Zhicai and said: "The matter of the security group, the county has already made a plan, please make a decision to the county respect, and the lower officials still have important matters, so they will leave." ”

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and floated out.

After Liu Ang left, Xin Dong started the text, and then stamped the county seal and handed it to Zhao Jie.

After Liu Ang returned to the public house, he walked around the desk a few times and still didn't feel relieved, suddenly slammed the tea bowl to the ground, and then used his sleeve to blow all the official documents that he liked to work hard with all his heart and soul to the ground, and finally sat on the chair panting.

Pointing to the direction of Xin Zhicai's public house, he said hatefully: "Nerd, I will make you proud today, and I will make you look good tomorrow." At this moment, a tall, gray-haired thin man of about sixty years old next door to the public house quietly picked up his official document from the ground and placed it on his desk.

Liu Ang seemed to have caught a life-saving grass, and after saluting the man, he asked: "Yan Weng, today's nerd seems to have opened his mind, and he actually knows how to catch Zhaojiazhuang to break the game, which makes the official really headache." What can Yan Weng do? ”

The old man known as Yan Weng pondered for a while, and then said: "Since Xin Zhicai has bet everything on Zhaojiazhuang, then you might as well start with Zhaojiazhuang, as long as Zhaojiazhuang is defeated, it can be guaranteed that Xin Zhicai will be difficult to turn over." There is a chain plan below, which can not only kill three birds with one stone, but also take the opportunity to catch Zhaojiazhuang in the hands of the lord. ”

After speaking, he whispered in Liu Ang's ear.

After Liu Ang heard this, he immediately saluted Yan Weng again and said, "Thank you Yan Weng, the clever plan, the clever plan." Concierge, go get a new tea bowl. ”

After Yuan Tao and Zhao Jie, Xin Dong looked at the two gift slips left by Zhao Jie and pondered for a while and said: "Dong Weng bet on Zhao Jiazhuang to break the game, I don't know if it's right?" ”

Xin Zhicai took a sip of tea, looked at the backs of Yuan Tao and Zhao Jie and said, "Do I have any other choice?" Although this Zhao Pingnian has small teeth, he is a poet in the county school. ”

Speaking of this, his eyes couldn't help but show an appreciative look.

"There is a copy of the county school carved version of the "Changyuan County Academic Degree Excerpts", Zhao Ping was recorded in the county school in less than a month, including two poems, one word each, accounting for half of the total. Didn't Uncle Weng see the couplets and remarks sent today? is so talented, I think Yan Xiang was just like that back then. ”

In fact, it is said that this son is full of copper smell, which is a misunderstanding of him by others, and even a jealous person slanders him. Judging from Yuan Xuezheng's calligraphy, this son still wants to run a school. Today, isn't Yuan Xuezheng also standing up for his proud disciple? ”

After speaking, he took out a brand-new book from the bookcase that still exuded the smell of ink and books and handed it to Xin Dong.

If he knew Zhao Ping's teaching method, he would have more confidence in Zhao Ping.

It's a pity that Xin Zhicai was trapped in the cage of the yamen.

Xin Dong took the "Excerpt from the Academic Degree Class Article of Changyuan County", opened it and began to read it with a little saliva.

Wang Zhicai watched Xin Dong read, and after tasting tea, he asked softly, "Uncle Weng, how do you feel about Zhao Ping?" ”

Xin Dong put down the scroll, looked at the direction of Yuan Xuezheng and Zhao Jie, looked at Wang Zhicai and nodded, and said: "According to the next quiet inquiry, all the properties of Zhaojiazhuang are said to be done by this son. This son is really extraordinary, not only was born out of thin air to change the pattern of Zhaojiazhuang, but also changed the pattern of Changyuan County and Changzhou, and may have an impact on Sichuan. ”

Xin Zhicai couldn't help but be stunned, took a sip of the tea bowl in his hand, put it down, looked at Xin Dong and asked, "How does Uncle Weng correct it?" ”

Xin Dong looked at the direction of Zhaojiazhuang, and couldn't help but say leisurely: "Whether it is flower fairy gouache, flower fairy soap, fairy charcoal, fairy furnace, etc., all of which are unseen and unheard of, whether in the Great Song Dynasty or Hu Ren, they are extremely popular. It is foreseeable that as long as there is Zhaojiazhuang in Changyuan County, there will be no problem with taxes at all. Moreover, these things in Zhaojiazhuang have only been sold for more than two months. At the same time, Zhaojiazhuang continues to introduce new things, which used to be fairy soap, fairy furnace, and fairy charcoal, and now it is flower fairy gouache and flower fairy soap. At this rate, Changzhou is becoming more and more dependent on Changyuan County's taxes. ”

Speaking of this, Xin Dong paused again, and after looking at the text panel, he sighed deeply: "Could it be that this son still has a pure heart, if it weren't for the existence of Zhaojiazhuang, a stone of rice in Changyuan County would be at least eight guan, and even ten guan is possible, but now Zhaojiazhuang has forced the price to more than three guan, which is basically the same as last year's price." ”

Speaking of this, Xin Dong couldn't help frowning, and suddenly said: "Zhaojiazhuang's doing this obviously greatly affects the interests of other grain merchants. Could it be that last time, those troublemakers started a rice shop, and this time the thieves attacked Zhaojiazhuang, it is obviously impossible to say that there is no rice shop and grain merchants behind it. These vendors have been in business for a long time, and it is obviously impossible to have no contact with the local government, and the one who has been operating here for the longest time is none other than Liu Ang. ”

Speaking of this, Xin Dong's brows furrowed even deeper, and he further analyzed: "Could it be that those troublemakers and thieves have Liu Ang's acquiescence and even contributed to the trouble, and they have not achieved their goals these two times, then they must have a future." From the pounder to the bandit, the means of Zhaojiazhuang are becoming more and more ferocious, what will they do next time? Zhaojiazhuang is dangerous. Dong Weng now pins his hopes for breaking the game on Zhao Jiazhuang, if something happens to Zhao Jiazhuang, it is obviously not good for Dong Weng, Dong Weng should be careful. ”
